Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

Twenty-Eight Atlantic

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants and spas.

We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

We created the original Five-Star rating system in 1958, when we were Mobil Travel Guide.

Five-StarThese are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.

Four-StarThese are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.

RecommendedThese are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.

With views of charming Pleasant Bay beyond its picture windows, the Four-Star Twenty-Eight Atlantic restaurant inside Cape Cod's Wequassettt Resort and Golf Club is an upscale spot in which to sample perfectly prepared New England cuisine.

The room's Shaker-style décor and nautically inspired artwork are an elegant setting for chef James Hackney's seafood-focused and seasonally crafted menu. Dig into dishes such as caramelized day boat scallops, caught fresh and served with mushroom ravioli and truffle cream sauce, or the signature "petite clam bake," a dressy take on the New England tradition with poached lobster, corn pudding and fresh asparagus.

Our Inspector's Highlights

One of the things we enjoy most about Twenty-Eight Atlantic is its ability to introduce fine dining to patrons of all ages. It is a family-friendly restaurant, especially during breakfast, and has a full children’s menu for younger diners.

As you might expect from a fine-dining establishment on Cape Cod, Twenty-Eight Atlantic has a seafood-heavy menu. The focus is the fresh fish, from day boat scallops to lobster sourced in the cold waters off Coastal Maine.

The staff at Twenty-Eight Atlantic is responsible for this Cape Cod restaurant’s Four-Star rating. They’re friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and accommodating.

No matter what time you visit, you’ll always have a sweeping view of Pleasant Bay and see the restaurant’s beamed ceilings, grand fireplace, custom hand-blown chandeliers and tableside flowers.

During breakfast, Twenty-Eight Atlantic promotes a more casual feeling, thanks to the bright sunlight that beams through the floor-to-ceiling windows. In the evening, the restaurant turns a little more elegant, adding white tablecloths and votive candles to its tables to set a more romantic mood.

Things to Know

Twenty-Eight Atlantic is Wequassett Resort and Golf Club’s most formal dining venue, and it requests business causal attire when you dine there. Breakfast is much less formal than dinner, but you should still refrain from wearing your beachwear and flip-flops.

The classic Cape Cod eatery is open for breakfast and dinner in its Pleasant Bay setting.

Despite what it says on its website or OpenTable, we’ve been told from the resort itself that Twenty-Eight Atlantic is not open for lunch.

One thing to note: As the seasons change, so does the menu at Twenty-Eight Atlantic. You’ll always find fresh fish, herbs and vegetables on the menu; but depending on the time of year you’re there, the dishes might change to include heartier sides in the fall and summer vegetables during the spring and summer.

The Food

Get ready for a feast from the sea when you dine at Twenty-Eight Atlantic. Chef James Hackney’s focus on farm-to-table fare is apparent on the menu, which features items sourced directly from Pleasant Bay and around Cape Cod.
